We attended an interestng and well-produced biography of Ted Harrison, the Yukon's most famous artist. It is a beautiful theatre with warm and friendly staff.

Did not expect to have access to such a wide variety of quality entertainment programs so close to the down town area. Take the time to check the program schedule while you are in town. It is worth it.

Beautiful theatre, great acoustics, lovely first rate art and exhibit gallery, nice staff and volunteers. This is a great place. Visitors should check it out for the fantastic displays of local artists' works and the beautiful grounds and view. We have super shows here too!

We come here each year for the Frostbite Festival shows and the Film Festival, where we have seen amazing shows of musical talent that we might never have known about, and also some very unique films depicting northern life and issues. The building is beautiful, and the art displays are interactive and fun for the whole family.

What a great venue for such a small city! Well kept, friendly helpful people, lots of artists come to perform, and lots of local use.
